President Obama might maintain a “deafening silence” after the deaths of law enforcement personnel, but he never misses an opportunity to weigh in after deaths of popular figures or those that might be used to promote his social justice agenda. Thursday, President Obama publicly mourned the passing of “creative icon” Prince, saying he taught us that “a strong spirit transcends rules.”
“Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly, or touched quite so many people with their talent,” Obama said in a statement. “‘A strong spirit transcends rules,’ Prince once said — and nobody’s spirit was stronger, bolder, or more creative.”
